Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
Delicious, easy-to-make cookies that don't require baking, perfect for warm days when you want a sweet treat without heating up the kitchen.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar Gives sweetness and helps the cookies firm up.
- 1/2 cup Butter Adds richness and keeps the texture smooth.
- 1/4 cup Milk Helps dissolve the sugar and creates the right consistency.
- 1/2 cup Peanut butter The star flavor that helps the cookies set.
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
- 2 cups Old-fashioned oats Provides structure and chew.
- a pinch Salt Enhances peanut butter flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and milk. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally.
- Once it reaches a rolling boil, set a timer for 60 seconds and stir gently.
- Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Add oats and mix until evenly coated and thick.
- Scoop onto the lined sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop.
- Let them cool at room temperature until firm, approximately 20 to 40 minutes.
Notes
Use a real timer for the boil. It is crucial not to over-stir once the oats are added. If cookies do not set, try chilling them in the fridge.
